Feminism isn’t about taking anything from men.
It’s about giving women what we’ve always deserved: full humanity, full rights, full voice.
Long overdue.

In its US national security strategy memo, the Trump administration claimed Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure.”
It said it will support “patriotic” far-right parties across Europe to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

The entire phenomenon strikes me as primarily grift and calling it an “asset class” is ridiculous.
More concerning is that the data is marketed as “predictive” when the reality is they are often used to be manipulative of narrative and outcomes.
His claiming it’s “the truth” is a major red flag.

I hope Admiral Holsey is called to testify publicly once he retires. I imagine the boat strikes weren’t the only concern he had.
Exclusive: The four-star admiral in charge of Caribbean operations had concerns about the legality of the boat strikes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked him to retire shortly after they started.
